Published on 17 Jan 2018.

Populated by passionate foodies, Singaporeans enjoy a wide variety of good food at affordable prices. Hawker centres, which are an indispensable pillar of the Singaporean way of life, each offer numerous cuisines. Follow this guide to live like a local and be privy to the best eats in town.

Central

Maxwell Food Centre

Maxwell Food Centre is nestled in a storied neighbourhood of pre-war shophouses and various places of worship. Located at the foot of Club Street and Ann Siang, you’ll find local foods like chicken rice by Tian Tian Chicken Rice, which was recommended by the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand, as well as Eurasian meals like shepherd’s pie and devil’s curry (spicy curry flavoured with candlenuts and vinegar) by Popo & Nana's Delights.

This historic market was designed by George Coleman in the 1830s, and has since been carefully restored. Home to local favourites and international cuisines like North Indian, Korean, Filipino, Japanese and Vietnamese, Lau Pa Sat is the go-to location for good hawker fare in the Central Business District. Singapore's famous Satay Street runs parallel to Lau Pa Sat, where Stalls 7 and 8 arguably sell the best rendition of the street’s namesake grilled beef and chicken skewers (satay).

The epicentre of Little India’s bustle, Tekka Centre was formerly named "Kandang Kerbau" after its buffalo pens, and is now named after the bamboo that used to grow in this area. Ethnic garments and accessories are sold on its upper floor, while the dum briyani (an Indian spiced rice dish with meat or vegetables) and Indian rojak (mixed fritters of dough, potato and shrimp) of its food stalls below are touted as some of the best in the country.

West

Tiong Bahru Market

Tiong Bahru Market resides in a heritage neighbourhood of Art Deco style apartments and great eats. Get your share of local delights like delicious wanton mee (egg noodles with dumplings) and chwee kueh (steamed rice cakes topped with preserved radish), and don’t miss the famous roasted pork buns at Tiong Bahru Pau. Then, head to one of the many modern cafes in the area for coffee and dessert.

Walking distance from Hort Park, Henderson Waves bridge and the many art galleries of Gillman Barracks, ABC Brickworks Food Centre is named after the Archipelago Brewery Company and the brickworks factories that used to populate this neighbourhood. Built in the 1970s, ABC Brickworks Market is well maintained as a modern and popular venue today, whose claypot rice, which consists of chicken, preserved sausages, vegetables and rice charred and served in a claypot, and Bib Gourmand-winning Ah Er herbal soup attract foodies from across the country.

Adam Road Food Centre is a stone’s throw from the Singapore Botanic Gardens, whose serene trails bypass swan lakes and lead to award-winning restaurants like Corner House and The Halia. Adam Road’s acclaimed hawker centre is known for its nasi lemak (fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf, accompanied with an array of side dishes like omelette, fried fish and anchovies) at Selera Rasa Nasi Lemak and sup kambing (mutton soup) at Bahrakath Mutton Soup King.

Beside Botanic Gardens MRT station.

East

Chomp Chomp

In the residential neighbourhood of Serangoon Gardens, make Chomp Chomp your pit stop for mouthwatering grub before you explore Coney Island or Seletar Aerospace Park. This market’s satay bee hoon (thin rice noodles in satay sauce) and Hokkien mee (stir-fried prawn noodles) are top sellers. Wash your meal down with sugar cane juice, which is available in an extra-large glass.

Golden Mile Food Centre is in close proximity to Kampong Glam, which is home to hip cafes and bars. Golden Mile Food Centre’s two storeys of stalls purvey good sup tulang (mutton bone stewed in gravy), Peranakan fare, Ah-Balling (glutinous riceballs with peanut, sesame or red bean filling, in a peanut soup), and also houses a new and already highly rated Halal burger stall Burgs by Project Warung.

Previously known as Simpang Bedok Marketplace, The Bedok Marketplace is a beloved and recently renovated hawker centre where East-siders have always congregated for good mee pok (flat egg noodles served with fish balls and minced meat) and Indian Muslim fare. The hawker centre is now run by young chefs and restaurateurs, whose home-baked bread, ramen and seafood are must-tries. The Burning Oak’s Wagyu steaks are highly recommended, along with the Caribbean and Japanese dishes of Mike’s Caribbean food and KoKoRo Ramen respectively. Now rebranded as The Bedok Marketplace, this esteemed establishment is a ten-minute walk from Tanah Merah MRT station, and is fifteen minutes from Changi International Airport via taxi.
